How come the Tellarite doesn't know what the Federation is? Has he had no contact with his species at all, considering that Tellar is a founding member?
Why would he? It's not like every Tellarite in the Galaxy is in constant communication with each other.
What is he doing in the Delta Quadrant in the first place? It must be far in the future because Holo-Janeway said that the Federation was in part in the Beta Quadrant.
Hasn't the Federation spanned the Beta and Alpha Quandrants ever since they came up with the quadrant thing? In fact Earth is pretty much on the border.
 
Yep, and Qo'noS and Romulus are in the Beta Quadrant so humans have had contact with species in both quadrants since the 2150s, before the Federation even existed.
 
Now that we're under way, I'm starting to get a feel for the show, and I already like some aspects of it. The animation is good (dwarf star scenes, various SFX scenes all well done), music is good, as said before, but it's characterization and story line that will win me over, and Rok-tahk is already shaping up to be my favorite character, while Dal continues to be my least favorite. Granted, it's early, and he may get better, but for the moment he's just annoying and gets in the way of me actually enjoying moments in the show. He's kind of the loud blaring horn during tense moments more than anything.

Gwyn's got a lot of potential, and it's clear that she has better decision making capacity compared to Dal, at least for the moment. Unfortunately, her wanting to return to her home keeps her from being effective.

Janeway explaining the concept of the Federation was interesting. That she used liberty explicitly may be a way of underscoring what our characters have been lacking for so long. It ties into what Rok-tahk was saying to Gwyn later in the brig when she brought her food. I'd like to see more focus on that, and I think we will.

So yeah, with things getting organized into a general idea of where they might go, I'm curious to see what comes next. So I gave this one a 6/10. It has potential.
 
I think she's like a Maester or a genie. She's not allowed to wrest control from whoever is in command of the ship (probably as a safety measure against burgeoning evil sentient holograms).

...but she is actively listening to everything said onboard. And there are tons of incriminating info said to and by Dal on how they're lying, that they're fugitives, that Gwyn is a kidnapped teenage girl, that they're about to be hunted down by a bloodthirsty warlord. Janeway knows all of this, and is probably preparing a report for Starfleet.

In a show where everyone is manipulating everyone, Holo-Janeway reigns supreme. No way she thinks they "have potential" or whatever she said.
Oh, I'm sure she believes they have potential. That I have no doubt, but she's likely referring more to them becoming close comrades and friends, finding ways to survive. She doesn't specify, and what is unsaid is almost as important as what is said.
 
I don't have a problem with Tellarites in the Delta Quadrant, or Lurians or Caitians or Medusans, or even Brikar, because these could all be ancient powers, for all we know, who might have lost colonies or generation ships that reach far into the Delta Quadrant. I also don't have an issue with a Kazon slaver being out near the Beta Quadrant border, possibly fifty years or more from his home turf, because that was a slave race and he specifically may have high-tailed it away with his sect the minute the Trabe weren't looking.

It's just the sheer number of Alpha/Beta powers toiling away in Solum's mine that raises eyebrows. It's not like the Hagemans don't realize this, too. They featured a Tellarite among the holographic Frederation powers, onscreen next to Jankom, Janeway acknowledges her knowledge of Tellarites, and there's
stated to be a Tellarite Starfleet doctor in future episodes
.

This will be explained. Just not sure when.
 
Has anyone given any hint to what year it is?

I mean, what is the likelihood that the harmonic resonance somatic accretion field of those cave crystals could preserve a starship for ... oh I don't know ... say, 800 years?
 
Ah. Well that's more boring.

I'm assuming then that the black box thingy is a slip stream that they're going to unlock and then of the season.
 
it was…fine.

the best thing about this show is just how great it looks. the scenes with the collapsing star were just fantastic eye candy.

long way to go but overall the show just isn’t grabbing me.
 
Maybe, but everything indicates this is the time frame we're in now:

If everything indicates that, then what are Alpha Quadrant races doing in the Delta Quadrant only two years after Lower Decks? And Alpha Quadrant races who know nothing about the Federation, to boot?

that’s not even necessary: the Discovery looked in great shape after having been abandoned for centuries in Calypso.
